chris:b Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hi Ceco, try "Wink for Linux": http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ It works fine with Mandriva. Very powerful. But: it creates Flash Videos (.swf), no .avi. --chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieJohn Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 What about Ksnapshot. It is included on your Mandriva installation CD-roms. It enables you to do screen captures, as it is called in windows. In KDE it is simply called snapshot. You can take whole screen, single windows, part windows or segments. Very versatile and the images are in a common format that does NOT require a special application such as swf or others to display them. By the way. Fantastic to see you posting again Anna. We have missed you for quite a while. Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hello John, long time no seen -- Seco wishes to produce a *video*, thus recording a whole sequence from the screen. ksnapshot only makes screenshots :-( There are two tools that I know for linux, the mentioned Wink (not Open Source, but free beer), and xvidcap/gvidcap, which is in /contrib -- and unfortunately completely broken and not functional in MDV 2006 and in LE 2005. Wink can make interactive tutorials (from the screen, running programs for examples) or just produce a non-interactive flash film. Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
